Do guys like a lot of parity in Sports today?

[jjgold]

I don’t find it as exciting without real dominant teams


As far as the handicappers excellent if you play underdogs

Viewership is down across the board

 

[BobbyFK]

Need to find a way to increase viewership. Need to have JJ announce a game?

 

[Wagerallsports]

Yes I prefer the parity

NY teams need to win some titles

Huge example of parity was the entire season of NCAAB especially March madness.

parity in season is nice. but the ability of a shit franchise to turn it all around in 1-2 seasons is where it is really at. see the NFL

in MLB you need a 5 year "rebuild" and then it still only has a small chance of working.

in NBA you need to collude to buy two max contract all stars to go with your first round draft pick stud that DOES pan out

Not enough parity in college football. All the top players go to Alabama, Clemson, Georgia & Ohio St. it seems last decade.

Obviously the transfer portal has helped create some parity in college sports in general.

Parity is not bad. In many instances it's nice to have consistent predictions or formula and watch the market swing all around it, snatching opportunies when we can.

It also makes things like my non predicitvie public more valuable, and making ranges of Forecasts more valuable. This can show us just when it's the market swinging, and how much, and not the teams themselves doing the swinging, outside of the more expected ranges of variance.

Keep the teams equal and let the bettors and their non predicitve perceptions move the lines into betting range, where we can strike.

I feel like parity also creates more value on the dog side of the market, as often most recreational bettors will tend to bet that side of the fence.

I don't think that this is bad. In my opinion i think that it is much more interesting to watch such games, mostly because you don't know the result for sure and thus can't predict how game will end and who will win

Overall the public likes their favorites and likes their OVERS. So yeah, value is usually created on the dog side as the perception of the favorite being that much better grows like a fish story.

Parity is good for any sport, you get more fan bases involved and interested, and bring more fans to the sport. More ticket sales is always good.
But as fans we always want our team to be on top and stay there, even when there is little parity it's hard to stay on top of the mountain, just not as many other teams to knock you off

You know how to pick winners kid, I’d like to see you not continue to buy points & give the Bookmaker back a % of your profits, just my opinion.
